Wow, this is a meaty cigar. The Cuaba Diadema is an outstanding, full-bodied treat for seasoned smokers who love Cuban flavor. Because of Cuaba's preference for figurado-shaped cigars, the Diadema, like the rest of the Cuaba sizes, burns slow and steady at the beginning until is passes the bulge at the end. Once passed that first curve, the smoke draws easier and easier. The Cuaba Diadema generally tastes of strong espresso with highlights of nutmeg and paprika. This cigar gets much stronger as you smoke it so be prepared to take it easy. Enjoy with your favorite full-flavored red wine or peaty scotch.
